Categorias de análise do experimentalismo pós-tropicalista na MPB
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: This article discusses the limits of some conceptual categories used in the analysis of the language of post-tropicalist experimental songs from the ’70s in Brazilian popular music. As all of these categories are based on the repression and censorship exerted by of the military dictatorship, it seems difficult to generalize this influence and to link all avant-garde popular music in Brazil directly and entirely with that political context. A careful examination of the experimental production of artists such as Walter Franco, Tom Zé, Secos & Molhados and Novos Baianos reveals, besides the influences of the state of exception of that time, other features in their creative exercises. The category “critical song” used by Santuza C. Naves will be the starting point to understand the experimentalism of Brazilian popular music in that period.Key words: post-tropicalism, experimentalism, Brazilian popular music.
